About this event

Building your second brain will be the most transformative thing you do for yourself this year. It levels up your output and your productivity. It gives you superpowers.

Your AI already remembers a few things about you. The problem is that it doesn’t know everything.

It doesn’t know the proposal you sent last month, what you decided on Tuesday’s call, how you write, or who your clients are. So you keep explaining it all again, and you keep getting answers that sound like everyone else’s.

A second brain fixes that. It’s one folder that holds your work, your notes, your meetings and your decisions. It sits on your computer and syncs to Google Drive, so Claude can reach it from anywhere: your laptop, the cloud, your phone. Your context follows you all the time, even on the go.

In this hands-on workshop, we set up the system together so Claude works with a perfect memory of you.

Why a second brain

Claude knows you, everywhere. Same brain on your laptop, in the cloud and on your phone. Ask from anywhere and it already has the full picture.

Output that sounds like you. With your full context, the AI stops giving you the market average and starts working with your facts, in your voice.

It compounds. Every proposal, call and decision lands back in the folder. The more you use it, the better it gets.

You’re AI-independent. Your memory lives in your own folder, not inside one provider. Plug Claude, ChatGPT or an open-source model on top, and try every new model the day it comes out without moving anything.

You stop onboarding your AI. No more pasting the same background into every new chat.

What it looks like in practice

Your host, Gui Perdrix, founder of Timeback, runs his whole company from a second brain. A few things it does for him:

A website in a couple of hours. When he asked Claude to build his site, it already had every article he’d ever published, and put them all on it.

Answers from months of work in one prompt. He asked for every testimonial from his bootcamps. Claude pulled them from call recordings, emails and a feedback survey, designed the page, and listed where each quote came from.

A CRM he never had to build. Everyone he works with has a file, and every meeting note and decision is filed the same day.
